I love the formal wear, but I have a question, as a female player, can I wear a tux? I don't want to wear a dress. Simple question enough, can I wear any of the clothes? Or am I just getting 3 dresses =/

IF this is the case, that only dresses are wearable by female characters, at some point, it'd be nice to make the opposite available. Sometime. I of course understand that it's not that easy, as it requires a new texture/model/skin (not sure how it's done exactly in this game) to fit. But it'd be nice.

You do NOT get three dresses. You get one mini skirt and the other "dress" is actually a loin cloth that hangs off the formal bet on front and back. The picture of the Formal Female Dress while accurate is misleading as it makes it look like there are three dresses. There aren't it's just one mini-skirt and the loin cloth from the formal belt.

Seconded. I think that all gender based costume restrictions should be lifted from the game.

I couldn't agree more, but Star Trek went through four TV series and ten movies and barely managed to touch the (possibly - in this day and age - somewhat less controversial) topic of homosexuality.

Even if Cryptic doesn't have any personal discrimination about tranvestism, I very much doubt they have the moral fortitude to weather the political poostorm that would result from letting their male Captains wear dresses.
